San José is a village and fishing port in the centre of Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata, in the Province of Almería. Over recent years San José is experiencing an increase in the number of visitors and is an easily accessible town from Almería airport and the A7 autovia. San José, as with all of the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata is most popular during the spring and summer months. Although San José boasts a few beaches, a few outside the town and within walking distance, such as Playa de los Genoveses, Playa de Mónsul and Cala de la Media Luna. There are several restaurants and tapas bars in San José. The local independently run tourist office is a reference point for activities in the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata. Accommodation is plentiful although in summer some places can be fairly expensive and are quickly filled.
Due to its situation in the middle of the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata, one is never far away from natural spaces, the most popular of those being the beaches. But there is so much more and all within walking distance of San José.
Apart from the town beaches of Playa de San José, Playa de la Calilla and Tabacco Beach you can wander along westward to the stunning beaches of Playa de los Genoveses, Playa de Mónsul and Cala de la Media Luna. But this is just a small number of the stunning beaches and coves to be found to the west of the town. There is also Playa del Barronal, Cala del Príncipe, Cala Chica, Cala Carbón and many more. To the east to the pueblo is the stunning Cala Higuera overlooked by the even more stunningly located bar El Refugio (only open mid to high season). All beaches around San José are ideal for snorkelling.
Alongside the beach Playa de los Genoveses is the Campillo de los Genoveses, a partly cultivated natural space that is a haven for flora and fauna. Further along the track is part of the Sierra de Cabo de Gata. Both of these areas are popular with wildlife enthusiasts, hikers, artists and photographers, cylists and shepherds grazing their goats and sheep. Amongst the features of Campillo de los Genoveses is a huge fossilised sand dune that once was part of the beach, making this an area of geological importance.
Día de San José or Saint Joseph’s Day honors St Joseph, the Virgin Mary’s spouse, and is held annually all over Spain on 19 March. This date is also known as Father’s Day (Día del Padre) in many areas of the country. The celebrations start on Friday night where live music is played in the main square or plaza and there is a drinks tent selling beer, wine and tapas. This is in addition to the already crowded bars
Fiesta de San Juan is a festival of ancient origin adapted to commemorate St. John the Baptist. It is a festival that is usually linked with celebrations to celebrate the arrival of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, whose principal rite is a fire. The purpose of this ritual was to give more power to the sun The festival is marked by a night of partying around beach bonfires and party-goers jumping over waves, each wave supposedly bringing good luck.
The nearby Monsul beach has been used for scenes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the music clip 'Ave Maria' from pop star David Bisbal. The syndicated TV series Queen of Swords used Monsul Beach and nearby locations for haciendas throughout the series.

Places to see in ( Andalusia - Spain ) Monsul Beach
Monsul Beach is the most famous beach of the Nature Reserve, having appeared in many films and commercials. This beach owes its uniqueness to the lava formations eroded around it, the beauty of its fine sand and its crystal clear water.
Nowhere in the Nature Reserve is best reflected the volcanic origin of it, the rocks surrounding the beach Mónsul are huge tongues of lava reached the sea and the wind and water have eroded to form this beach and carve this diamond of the Mediterranean Sea.
In the center of the beach we found a huge rock that the nature has left whimsically amid the sand, this is a refuge for swimmers in the hottest days to take shelter in its shade. As like other reserve beaches, Mónsul is a pristine beach, so you will not find where to buy drinks, you must go prepared and be respectful of the environment to preserve the beauty of untouched beach. Its beauty seduces visitors, as happened to the director Steven Spielberg that decided to use this beach, and other locations of Almeria, to film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade among other films.
The beach is reached from a forest track of 4 kilometers from San José, the route can be done by car or public transport. At 200 meters from the beach there is a parking. In summer to park cost 4 euros, and there are very limited spaces. The best way to get is with a shuttle bus that leaves San Jose and also leads to the beach Genoveses and beach Barronal.
About 500 yards past the parking Mónsul we get to the parking area of the Cala de La Media Luna beach which is named for its shape. Following this dirt track we reach to Cala Carbón beach, the descent to this beach can be made with car, but the road is very bad, it is better to leave the car in the parking lot at the end of the dirt road and walk down. The mentioned fence does not allow cars to continue, if we walk around the track to hill climb Vela Blanca , where you have a splendid view of these coves.

Playa de Monsul en San José Nijar
Playa de Mónsul Almeria, entre las más famosas del Parque natural Cabo de Gata, por haber aparecido en multitud de películas y anuncios comerciales. Esta playa debe su singularidad a las formaciones volcanicas de lava que la rodean, a la belleza de su arena fina y a su agua cristalina, como sucede en otras playas del parque, Mónsul es una playa virgen que enamora a sus visitantes, como le pasó al director Steven Spielberg que decidió utilizar esta playa, y otras localizaciones de Almería, para rodar Indiana Jones y La última Cruzada entre otras películas. #beachesspain #cabodegatasanjose #PlayadeMónsul #cabodegata #nijar #travel #playadelosgenoveses
